🚨Kwasi Kwarteng announces govt is scrapping 45p additional rate of income tax - paid by richest 629,000 who earn more than £150,000. An unashamed budget for the rich.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

The problem: 40,000 nursing vacancies

Liz Truss' solution: Cut nurses pay.

'This was a criminal offence. Now it’s an option for business.'

Never has a phrase summed up this Government so well.

[Behan11 @ElliotBehan]

@LAConspires Hi, these still going? Can you drop me a message please?

[IJ | mwen pa sòt online @aChildOf2Worlds]

Changes include:
- ministers don’t have to resign if they breach the code
- public apology, remedial action, or removal of ministerial salary for a period instead

Student loan interest rates are set to rise from 1.5% to 9% for low earners from September (and from 4.5% to 12% for high earners).

So if you've got £50,000 of student debt, on average it'll grow by £2,200-£3,000 in just 6 months.

The Tories despise young people.

“I am virtually out of tools to help people now,” says the Money Saving Expert

Martin Lewis says the UK is facing the worst cost of living crisis he has ever seen

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

This is sickening gesture politics.

People’s lives are in danger and the Home Office is doing everything it can *NOT* to help: ending visa applications in Ukraine, refusing to open safe and legal asylum routes, and preparing to criminalise refugees who come via a third country.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

Shell profits this year - £14 billion.

BP profits this year - £9.5 billion.

Combined that’s £44,710 a minute.

While energy bills are going up by £700.

We need a windfall tax on energy companies with money going to billpayers.

Unbelievable the Tories & SNP fail to support it.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@MartinSLewis So, someone who doesn't have an energy account, takes one out in November 22 and has to repay the loan they never got? Who keeps this? Energy firm or the govt? Sounds like an extortion racket to me.

During the pandemic the richest saw their wealth double but Govt instead choose to increase the tax on the rest of us, especially those reliant on food banks & those who can’t afford to put the heating on

[Colin Davis @ProfColinDavis]

Liz Truss burnt 500 tonnes of CO2 using a private jet for a return trip to Sydney (she got back the day before COP26).

That's more CO2 than the average UK citizen emits in a lifetime.

The lifestyles of the rich and famous are killing us, and they're using our money to do it.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Last night the Tories passed a Bill that requires photo ID to vote.

They say it's to stop voter fraud but really it's about voter suppression:

Voter fraud is almost non-existent, but 3.5 million people – disproportionately from poor & marginalised groups – don't have photo ID.

[Snigdha ON BLUESKY @snigskitchen]

Now this is awks. Bas Javid, brother of Sajid Javid, wrote about how he was in charge of the Met's Covid policing last year in The Spectator. There's an urgent need into an inquiry as to why there has been no investigation into #DowningStreetParties

One of these parties (I know it's hard to keep track) was for James Slack, now deputy editor of The Sun, in case you've been wondering why they've been downplaying partygate.

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

This will come to be seen as one of the major scandals of the Covid era
